As far as Manitoba goes - I can only hope the songs you heard were the "Boards Of Canada-lite" tunes from "Start Breaking My Heart", and not anything from the supernova of awesome that is "Up In Flames" which as FoK will (correctly) tell you is maybe the best album ever made since ever.

He doesn't like Up In Flames either. The thing you have to realize is, ES has pretty long hair, and a lot of times people mistake him for a girl, and to make up for this borrowed self-suspicion that he might be a girl, he only listens to Dark Evil music. He has good taste in Dark Evil music but if something has vocal harmonies in it it's too "gay" for him (read: "I'm afraid it will make me gay.").

It all runs back to the hair thing where he thinks that if he gets caught playing the Beach Boys someone will ask him to host a Pampered Chef party.
